The challenge and joy of motherhood – I loved the raw honesty. Being a mother is sooooo hard sometimes. Who hasn’t had a Charlotte moment, just crying silently to yourself and wondering what the heck is wrong with you? And time for yourself is ok, it’s essential, it’s not selfish or wrong.

As a mother, a wife and a woman. And yes, we love and adore our children beyond words. That’s not the point.

A 7.3-magnitude earthquake struck off the western coast of western Indonesia's Sumatra island early Wednesday, the U.S. Geological Survey said, but witnesses reported only minor shaking on land.

The quake, which happened at 12:37 a.m. local time (1:37 p.m. Tuesday ET) at a depth of 18.1 miles, was centered in the Indian Ocean about 262 miles southwest of Banda Aceh, Sumatra, Indonesia, and 590 miles west of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the USGS said.

Food Revolution Day on 19 May is a chance for people who love food to come together to share information, talents and resources; to pass on their knowledge and highlight the world’s food issues. All around the globe, people will work together to make a difference. Food Revolution Day is about connecting with your community through events at schools, restaurants, local businesses, dinner parties and farmers' markets. We want to inspire change in people’s food habits and to promote the mission for better food and education for everyone.

In March 2011, saya created a group called Homemade Solid Food For Your Baby di facebook. The purpose of this group was as exactly as what is said above "come together to share information, talents and resources; to pass on their knowledge and highlight the world’s food issues" specifically on preparing first solids for 6 Months to 12 Months and then continuing after that. Saya cuba galakkan ibu-ibu untuk tidak menggunakan nestum but sebaliknya use natural food sources such as grains, vegetables and fruits.

My 4 other co founders came later : Wan Mai, Fara Kertina, Shehan Ismail and Maghfarah. They were the strong opinions as well behind this group.

The Food Revolution Is Going Global - We Need Your Help!

Tue 20 Mar 2012

Story by The Food Revolution Day Team

On May 19th we’ll be holding the first ever Food Revolution Day, Jamie’s first day of action and inaugural global food festival to mark our commitment to food education for a better life.

We’re hoping that no matter how big or small, events will be taking place in cities all over the world and to help make this happen we’re on the lookout for people to take leadership in their city and join our growing global team as a Food Revolution Day Ambassador.

What Is The Role Of A Food Revolution Day Ambassador?

The role of an Ambassador is to be the local point of contact for Food Revolution Day events by reaching out to schools, businesses and farmers markets to make sure they know all the ways they can get involved.Ambassadors are the spark of enthusiasm that can turn this into a local movement by connecting the dots of support.

Food Revolution Day aims to give those who have been working tirelessly a platform to share their knowledge with the local community and open up opportunities for even more people to learn about real food through participation. Whether that is a local chef offering a cooking class, gardeners teaching their neighbours how to make a vegetable garden in their own backyard or food educators getting creative and offering local experiences like 'shopping healthy on a budget', Food Revolution Day provides an opportunity for us to unite and have all of these events happen on one day.

As part of the global team, Ambassadors will share regular updates with their community to ensure the campaign is adapting to the needs of volunteers and will also work with local press to answer any questions.

So if you love food and planning events, want to connect with your community and get them involved on May 19 and think you have the leadership to become one of our global Ambassadors, head over to FoodRevolutionDay.com and fill out this application.

4 days after I applied I received an email from Sarah Curl from jamieoliver.com that said "seem to be on the right track and already have great ideas" and they accepted my application :)

In addition she said :

I tak adalah berharap sangat sampai dapat masuk local paper kan huhuhu but its a good platform of sharing about much needed information for mothers out there.

The group with or without Food Revolution Day has already been teaching mak-mak kat luar sana to use REAL FOOD and to teach REAL FOOD to their anak-anak every single day through this group. There is no such thing as breakfast, lunch or dinner that comes in the box. There is such a thing as no salt or no sugar for as long as they can tahan. Plain milk if possible. No encouraging of Milo, Sweets, Junk Food...healthy eating in, bad habits OUT. We give emotional support to those who have been undermined by others even family ones about their choices.

From the day I was appointed to 19 May and sampai bila-bila pun I will advocate REAL FOOD. I am just proud that we are not the only ones who believe in this cause. I'm just glad I have an abundance of information from the Food Revolution team to further make these moms knowledgeable :)

WHY? Sebab they know how hard life is. I love these kinds of met up by MooGoo sebab selalu dapat share experience dengan other E sufferers.

This time around MooGoo buat "Ladies Night Only" but you can bring your husband. Cuma kena duduk tepi jaga anak hik hik hik It was also first time kami sampai ke Centrepoint, Bandar Damansara. Since kami sampai early, we checked out the shops, siap ada playground lagi hehehe

I datang dengan my best buddy Intan. Intan drive all the way from Taiping. Hebat kan?

Because she knows what is best for her Adam and only MooGoo is the best Why? sebab MooGoo is all natural. No paraben, no SLS, no steroid, no mineral oil. SLS stands for sodium lauryl sulfate. Don't be suprised if u check ur baby products ada benda ni...lama-lama pakai boleh menipiskan kulit tau.
